Wifi Extender setup - HELP!
Dear all
H E L P !
I am trying to set up a home (Mac) network using a Nighthawk Extender but can’t get it to work properly.
I 've set up the Extender with both 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands, and I can connect from my Mac to the server when I connect to [...]_5GEXT
But neither the server nor my iMac will connect to the internet.
Safari gives “not reachable” messages. Chrome tells me
news.bbc.co.uk’s server IP address could not be found
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
The diagram shows what I’m trying to do.
Can someone please walk me through what I SHOULD be doing...
I’m using the Orange DNS servers – which are reported when I log in directly to the Livebox at 192.168.1.1
TIA
Ken
